In 2011, the American Board of Medical Specialties approved a pilot project submitted by the American Board of Radiology for a Focused Practice Recognition in Brachytherapy initiative. Developers had anticipated significant interest within the profession and had hoped that the project would stimulate clinical interest, research, and education in the modality. A centerpiece of the project was a National Brachytherapy Registry, which was to serve as a dynamic longitudinal database for participants and the profession. Ultimately, the project did not achieve its anticipated goals and was terminated by the American Board of Radiology in 2015. Development, implementation, problems encountered, and potential implications and solutions are discussed.
2011年，美国医学专业委员会批准了美国放射学委员会提交的一个试点项目，即近距离放射治疗聚焦实践认可计划。项目开发者预计该行业会对此产生浓厚兴趣，并希望该项目能激发对这种治疗方式的临床兴趣、研究和教育。该项目的核心是一个国家近距离放射治疗登记处，它将作为参与者和该行业的动态纵向数据库。最终，该项目未能实现预期目标，并于2015年被美国放射学委员会终止。本文讨论了该项目的开发、实施、遇到的问题以及潜在影响和解决方案。
